22 Month Review

It’s time for your 22 month review, mummy and daddy.  Don’t be too nervous: I’m doing fantastically – and you can learn a lot about how to improve from my comments.

Let’s review the key activities:

  • I had quite a long spell of not feeling well this past month.  A nasty virus had me feeling really awful.  So suddenly not letting me drink milk seems REALLY unfair!  It’s still my favourite thing, and I think it’s totally worth waking you up in the wee small hours so I can vomit on you.  I’m having much more food and probably not enough water.
    Rating: Fail; need more milk!!
  • I am an awesome talker.  I recognise new things each day, and love to say them.  Car!  Car!  Bike!  Bike!  Bird!  Bird!  Light!  Light!  Daddums!!  Daddums!  Toes!  Toes!  Shoes!  Shoes!  Dog!  Dog!  LIGHT!
    Rating: Awesomely done, me!
  • I’m taking responsibility for more things around the house, and I think it suits me.  I am the official light turner-oner, I think I should be in charge of opening and closing all doors, I put my nappies into the bin, I carry my empty porridge bowl and spoon to daddy after mummy finishes feeding me breakfast (even if daddy is nowhere near the dishwasher), I take tissues out of the box, crumble them up, and put them into the bin, etc.
    Rating: I’m doing really, really well!
  • Books are still my favourite toys.  I’m especially enamoured of the works of Audrey and Don Wood and of Lynley Dodd.  A special compliment from me is when I lick a page or character.  I LOVE to lick the loon in Silly Sally, all the textures in my counting book, and the mouse in The Napping House.  When we read Quick as a Cricket, I have some of the animals in the book next to me in toy form.  That way I can hold up the correct animal when we get to the right page.  Bunny! Fox!  Tiger!  Lamb!
    Rating: I’m a book boy!
  • I’ve finally said my first sentence in English (as opposed to Eskilanto): I love you.
    Rating:  I love you!
  • I have decided the household should wake before 6 am, and as it is winter this means we are up well before sunrise.  So we see lots of sunrises from the helipad.  I’m certain you appreciate that, mummy and daddums.  Sometimes, mummy, this means you get your socks wet from the frost; toughen up!
    Rating: Red!  Yellow!  Frost!  Bird!
  • I’m a real whiz at getting around playgrounds these days.  I can climb up the stairs of the slide and slide down all by myself.  But there is some room for improvement:  please push me HIGHER on the swing!  It makes me laugh!!
    Rating: Mummy is no fun at the playground with her stupid ‘safety’.
  • I’m good at stopping when I’m told to stop.  I wonder what I’ve been doing at day care that they’ve taught me to stop.
    Rating: STOP!
